To find love in the unknown and hope in the future, when two souls conclude and become one... Zuri never expected love to look like this. Quiet. Patient. A mirror she wasn't afraid to look into. In a world that often asked her to shrink, she chose to expand-bit by bit, day by day. Through long walks beneath South Carolina skies, the rhythm of pen against paper, and the comfort of solitude, she learned to breathe in her own skin. He didn't come crashing in like a storm. He came gently, like rain after a dry season. Jakari, with his soft strength and calm presence-tall, thoughtful, his skin kissed by the sun, inked stories running along his arms. He smiled through the tight spaces of anxiety, spoke kindly, and stood tall even when the weight got heavy. He didn't need fixing. Neither did she. But somehow, in each other, they found balance. Two souls. One connection. And a love that feels like home.
